#i regret to inform those people that casual flirting =/= a committed relationship

[ataleofcrowns]

a little spoiler for ch.10

I knew that some people would be mad at X but personally I feel bad for that farm boy 😔

I know he shouldn't have expected more from X and he let his lil delulu get over him , but I still feel little bad for him. Bro just wanted some love 😭 ( I know at least 3 girls like him)

#deluluisnotsolulu 😔✊

He absolutely had a case of selective hearing when X stated in advance that this was a strictly no strings attached tryst lol. Thought he could convince X otherwise, but unfortunately for him his game was NOT there, to put it politely 🙈

A bit of skill in observation would have also told him that X was fucked up over a certain someone else so he never had a chance, but alas...

Also, let's be honest, the people that are mad at X are way more delusional than the farmer guy. At least the farmer guy got laid. The Crown on the other hand hasn't even gotten a kiss from X yet at that point, yet somehow these people think X is in a committed relationship with their Crown and that X "cheated"? Yeah, no, that's not how that works 💀

The Science Conference

The Science Conference: An Iron Man Fanfic

Buy me a ☕ Warning:  smut (Bi MMF threesome, oral sex, anal sex) Word Count: 3579 Pairing: Bruce Banner x Tony Stark x F!Reader Summary:  It’s difficult to carry on a relationship with two people long distance. When the three of you meet up at a science conference, you decide to have a little science conference of your own.

The Science Conference

It had been a long day.  You’d sat through several lectures all given by people at the tops of their field.  You’d even given one yourself.  There was so much information and people to speak to, it was exhausting and now to round off the day you were standing around in a conference room in heels you had really regretted putting on.

You heard them before you saw them.  Their arrival into the room was punctuated with a sudden flurry of activity and increase in sound.  The flashbulbs of at least 20 different cameras went off and you could hear, ‘Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark,’ repeated by various voices carry down to you where you were standing with a group of other people.  They all turned and craned their necks to see the famous Tony Stark.

You rolled your eyes and turned to see them both heading toward you followed by the crowd of people.

“Mister Stark!  I caught your talk, it was revolutionary.”  One of the men standing near you said, extending his hand to Tony.  Tony did some move that deflected his hand and ended up patting him on the back.

“Doctor Hewson.  You talk on plasmon propagation was riveting.”  He said breezing past him and heading directly to you.  Doctor Bruce Banner gave the scientist and an apologetic smile as he followed along behind and Tony’s security moved everyone away from him.  “Miss…”  Tony began holding his hand out to you.

“Doctor.”  You corrected taking it.

He placed his other hand over yours, so it was cupped warmly between both.  “Of course, my mistake.  Your work on Synthesis, Characterization, Biological Activity of 4-Oxo-imidazolidin-2-thione Derivatives is absolutely fascinating.”

“Thank you, Doctor Stark.”  You deadpanned.

He smirked at you.  “Now, now.  No need for formality.  My friends call me Tony.”

“Alright then, dork.”  You said.

He started laughing and leaned in and kissed your cheek.  “How are you holding up, darling?  Ready to go?”

You nodded.  “My feet are killing me.”  You leaned past him and kissed Bruce softly.

“Hey, sweetie.  Your lecture was fantastic.”  He said quietly.

“You old flatterer.”   You replied.

“Okay.  Well, I’ll leave you two and do one full sweep of the room.  Gotta be seen.”  Tony said and moved on to speak with other people.  Bruce took his place in front of you and his arms encircled your waist and roamed up your back.  You cupped his jaw and ran your thumbs along it as you looked into his eyes.  You were acutely aware that the people around you are all trying very hard not to stare at you and are failing miserably.  If it wasn’t for the fact that Bruce had suddenly gotten extremely handsy they might be trying to convince you to introduce them.  It wouldn’t have been the first time.

It wasn’t exactly public knowledge that there was something going on with the three of you.  The press tends to ignore any relationship that falls outside of a typical monogamous heterosexual relationship.  Celebrities that admit to being poly are often one couple and their close friend.  Open relationships are side-eyed and ignored completely.  Gal pals of course even if they are making out in public.  Girls do that don’t you know?

So Tony Stark wandering around with Bruce Banner attached at the hip while he flirted openly with women is obviously just a case of two guys out on the prowl together.  You might have been written in as a girlfriend for one or the other (you had been linked to both at one time or the other but quickly written off again when there was a lack of public sightings) but you rarely went out in public with them.  You and Bruce were way more comfortable at home, or in the lab.  So generally, that’s where you stayed waiting for Tony to go out being Tony.  It was just Science Conferences where the truth of the relationship became evident.  Where the three of you were obligated through work to socialize in public and you didn’t feel the need to try and hide anything.

Bruce nuzzled into your neck.  He, in particular, had no qualms about being public when out in public.   The mild-mannered man who you first meet - who spoke quietly and tried not to be noticed in case of the other guy also getting noticed - was so far from that with people he was comfortable with.  He almost sought out touch as a way to confirm it is actually him in the room with you and not the Big Guy.  You ran your hands back into his hair and rested your cheek on the top of his head.   “You going to rub my feet for me?”  You teased.

“You going to answer that question about the effects of pathogens on the human genome sequence?”  He teased.

“That’s not even my field.”  You whined playfully.

He hummed and pulled back looking into your eyes.  “We’ll see then.  Maybe if you ask nicely.”

You chuckled and pecked his lips, turning in his arms to see if you could spot Tony in his loop of the room.

“Doctor Banner, I wondered if I could talk to you about induced mutation through radiation?”  A younger woman asked approaching him.  He turned towards her and was soon lost in a discussion about radioactive isotopes and the fragility of human DNA.

You finished the glass of wine you’d been sitting on for the last twenty minutes and put it on the tray of a passing server as he came by collecting them.  Tony returned - still being swarmed - and put on hand on his hip.  “Did we lose Brucie Bear?”  He asked you.

Bruce responded to the sound of his pet name like a rabbit hearing something he wasn’t sure of.  He straightened up and his eyes flicked the room before turning back to you and Tony.  “Oh, you’re back.  Did you want to leave?”

“Take your time, dear.”  Tony teased, making Bruce’s cheeks dust pink.

Bruce turned back to the person he was talking to and apologized and handed them one of his business cards  “Here, feel free to email me and we’ll talk.”

The three of you headed outside, you and Bruce holding hands and tailing behind Tony as the cameras went off around him.  He flashed his hands up in a peace symbol when he got to the door and stepped outside.  Happy was waiting by the car and he opened the door for you all so you could all slide into the back.

You sat between them, each of them putting their hands on your thighs.  Tony nuzzled at your cheek, trying to initiate a kiss.  “Mm… hotel room sex.  Always feels so illicit.”  He teased.

You chuckled and ran your nail through his beard. “You’d think you’d have gotten used to it by now.”

That was the final part of the relationship you shared with these two men.  You didn’t see them often.  There was a lot of travel between institutions.  With the Avengers.  It didn’t line up well most of the time.  You made it work, but there was a large portion of hotels at conferences.  Those were events you could arrange around work.  It was how you had met in the first place.  Tony coming and putting on the charms, showing a genuine interest in your work.  Getting lost in discussion with Bruce about it when he’d opened up to you.  There would come a time you were sure when Tony would offer to fund your work just so that a commitment could be made.  You hadn’t reached that point yet.  You weren’t sure what you would do when that happened.  The idea of being bought sat badly with you, but there would be a time when the almost casual nature of your relationship wouldn’t be enough.  You knew that.  They knew it.  For now, you made do.

Tony chuckled and captured your lips with his, kissing you deeply and with an edge of need.  One of his hands ran up your thigh, bunching the material of your skirt with it, as the other pressed on Bruce’s chest.  Bruce leaned in and kissed the side of your neck, making a needy little whimper sound against your skin.

Happy cleared his throat.  “I can see all this you know?”

Tony broke the kiss and fell back against the chair laughing.  “You’ve seen far worse than that, Happy.”

“I also thought you’d grow out of it.”  He grumbled.

You started laughing and relaxed back.  Tony threw his arm around you and you and Bruce both leaned into him.  Tony pressed his lips to the top of your head and just seemed to breathe you in as he ran his fingers up and down the side of Bruce’s neck.

You stayed liked that until you arrived at the St. Regis and Happy pulled the car up at the doors. A valet rushed over opening the door and the four of you got out, Happy tossing the keys to the valet as he rushed to lead the way through the opulent hotel lobby.

There was once again the craning of necks to see what was happening as hotel staff rushed over to pander to Tony.  Happy intercepted a few but the private room butter was let through and you and Bruce watched on bemused as Tony ordered room service for the three of you without breaking his stride.

You went up to the suite you shared.  Happy hovered by the door waiting for the room service to arrive.  You knew he wouldn’t sleep until he was sure Tony was but he was good at making himself scarce if he was sure everything was safe.  You collapsed down into the plush gold and red sofa and put your feet up into Bruce’s lap.  Tony sat beside Bruce and put his arm around his shoulder as Bruce leaned into him.

Bruce slid your shoes from your feet and placed them on the floor.  His thumbs began to work the tension out of your arches.  You moaned graphically letting your head fall back against the arm of the chair.

“Good God, woman.  You don’t make those noise in bed.”  Tony laughed.

“Maybe that should tell you something, Tony.”  You teased.  Happy made a soft snort sound from the corner as he stifled a laugh.

Tony looked over at him narrowing his eyes before he gave in laughing himself.  “That sounds like a challenge to me.”

“I wouldn’t set her up for let down like that if I were you, Tony,”  Bruce said softly.  Tony’s jaw dropped and Happy barked a laugh in the corner.

Tony shot another look over at Happy before putting Bruce in a headlock and rubbing his knuckles on his head.  “Robert Bruce Banner!  You did not just say that to me.  Don’t you know who I am?”

“Tony,”  Bruce said giggling and trying to wrestle him off, a pink flush spreading up his neck to his ears.  “Tony.  Tony, stop.”

“You take it back.”  Tony teased, his hands moving to Bruce’s sides, tickling him.

A tinge of green crept into the red as Bruce squirmed under his fingers.  “Tony!”  He yelped, his voice coming in both as a high pitched squeal and a deep rumble.

Tony didn’t ease up until there was a knock on the door and the call of ‘room service’.  They both froze dead as Happy opened the door.  He didn’t allow the butler to push the tray in but rather tipped him at the door.  He wheeled it over shaking his head as Bruce and Tony went from staring startled at the door to smirking at each other.

“Alright, boss.  I’m calling it a night.  Call me if you need me.”  Happy said.

“Will do.  Night, Hap.”  Tony grinned.

“Night, Happy.”  You and Bruce echoed.

The door clicked shut behind him and Tony crashed his lips against Bruce’s.  Bruce made a small started squeak sound and wrapped his arms around Tony’s neck.  The green crept up a little higher as Bruce moved his lips with Tony’s.  Tony pulled back and Bruce gasped the green finally receding away again.  “God, are you trying to get the Hulk?  Because that’s how you get the Hulk.”

“Now, now.  We both know he will stay back if there is the promise of that on the table.”  Tony teased.  “The Big Guy likes to watch.”

Bruce turns beet red and drops his eye contact, running his hand through the back of his hair.  “Tony,”  He breathed.

“Yes?”  Tony replied, trying to play off innocent.

“I think he’s trying to say, that you’re all talk.”  You teased.

“Oh, that’s it.  You asked for this.”  Tony said picking you up and tossing you over his shoulder.  You squealed and kicked your legs and Tony stumbled.  “Calm down you or we’re both ending up on the floor.”  He said smacking your butt playfully.

“But food…”  You complained as Bruce got up and followed you into the bedroom.

“Food after.  I have my reputation at stake.  We’re having a science conference all of our own.  Practical biology.”  He said as he tossed you onto the bed.

You giggled and started to strip off your clothes as the other two men did too.  “What exactly are you trying to prove here?  That you can get me to make the foot massage noise?”

“At least the foot massage noise,”  Tony said as he dropped his pants.

You positioned yourself on your back in the middle of the bed your head hanging over the end and reached for Bruce.  “And how will you do that if my mouth is full?”

Tony laughed and shook his head, climbing up between your legs.  He ducked his head down and began to kiss his way up your thighs as you pulled Bruce over and nuzzled at his cock.  Bruce bent over you and his hands roamed as his cock hardened.  He ran his fingers through Tony’s hair and along his jaw.  His palms stroked over your stomach and over your breasts, pinching and pulling at your nipples.  Tony meanwhile teased the insides of your thighs with his lips.  Ghosting them over the sensitive skin so you could just feel the scratch of his beard and the occasional wet flick of his tongue.

When Bruce cock was semi-hard you began placing little kitten licks up the shaft, you focused on the sensitive spot just at the head and he made a low rumble sound and his hands tightened on your breasts.  You moaned a rolled your hips.  Tony bit the inside of your thigh right where it met your pussy and he sucked hard.  It would leave a mark and it sent a shiver from your cunt up your spine.

You gasped and dropped your head back with your lips parted.  Bruce’s hand went to your jaw and held it, slipping his index finger into your mouth.  You closed your mouth and curled your tongue around it, taking in a ragged breath as you did.

Bruce made a guttural moan and looked down at you, his eye dark with lust and ringed with iridescent green.  “You want my dick?”  He growled as he pushed his finger in and out of your mouth.

You whimpered and nodded your head a fraction.  A half-smile played over his lips and he removed his finger and teased the head of his cock over your lips, painting them with a sticky trail of precome.

Tony had moved to your other thigh, marking a spot there as well and his index finger lazily traveled up and down the length of your dripping pussy.  Your fluids coating it and allowing it to move more easily.

The salty tang of Bruce’s precome coated the tip of your tongue as you swirled it over the head of his cock.  He eased his hips forward, pushing into your mouth and you sucked, hollowing your cheeks and making him moan.  He started to thrust.

Tony’s tongue ran up your pussy and he used his lips to nip at your labia, almost ruffling the folds.  He hummed happily as he swirled his tongue around tasting as much of you as he could and when a jolt ran through your core making you gasp around Bruce’s cock he groaned and rolled his hips against the mattress.

A pleasant buzz ran through your body and made your skin prickle.  Tony sucked and nipped at your clit and his tongue teased at your entrance, drawing out your arousal and drinking it up as it dripped from you.  You sucked and licked at Bruce’s cock as he gently thrust against you, letting you control things.  His hands continued to roam over you and Tony.

You relaxed your throat and let Bruce just thrust holding your tongue flat so he’s shaft rubbed against it with every snap of his hips.  You closed your eyes and just gave yourself to the feeling of the two men you loved pleasuring you and taking pleasure in you.  You moaned softly, the sound becoming muffled by Bruce’s cock.  Tony’s fingers teased around your entrance sending a pleasant tingle through your cunt and then out through the rest of you.  They thrust into you and he corkscrewed his wrist, so his knuckle dragged on your g-spot.  Your body bucked forcing Bruce’s cock further down your throat, choking off the sound of the cry and causing you to gag.

Bruce pulled back letting you release him panting and he looked down at you.  “You okay, honey?”

The answer you gave was a loud moan as Tony twisted his wrist again and sucked on your clit.  You looked down at him and he smirked up at you and nipped at your clit sending another jolt through you.

You leaned back and ran your tongue back along Bruce’s shaft, and sucked on first one ball then the other.  Bruce groaned and thrust forward.  Your tongue ran along his perineum and he pressed your breasts together and began to thrust into the pocket he’d made between them.

Tony kept fucking you with his fingers, sending tendrils of pleasure twisting through you, binding together in your gut.  You jerked up suddenly crying out as you came.  Tony sat up and grinned down at you smugly.  “Well, look at that.”

Bruce stepped back and moved around to Tony.  “Alright, alright.  Very good.”  He said.

You got up on your knees and looked at Bruce.  He smiled at you and you both turned your gaze on Tony.  “Oh shit,”  Tony said, wiping his fingers down the sides of his mouth.  “How do you want me?”

“Mmm… I think we’ll see if you can moan properly when you’re mouth is busy.”  You hummed.  “On your back.”

Tony rolled over and brought a pillow under his hips as Bruce coated his cock in lube.  You straddled Tony’s face and immediately he dug his finger into your hips and placed a large open-mouthed kiss over your mound.  Bruce moved between his legs and pushed them back.  You took hold of Tony’s ankles and held them as you watched Bruce slowly sink his cock deep into Tony's ass.

Tony groaned into your pussy and you started to rock your hips against his face.  He sucked your clit into his mouth and hummed, making a slight buzz against it.  Bruce snapped his hips against Tony and you leaned in and kissed him.  He growled into it and one hand went to your hair, holding you in place as his tongue flicked out to meet yours and they danced together.

The bedroom became a cacophony of sound.  Moans and growls.  Groans and grunts.  Pressure built in you as a second orgasm built.  You watched as Tony’s legs began to shake as he came close too.  Both his and Bruce’s stomach muscles tensed as Bruce thrust into him.  You ran your fingers through Bruce’s chest hair and down his stomach until you teased the base of his cock.  From there you trailed them over Tony’s balls and gripped his shaft, beginning to pump.  He jerked under you and moaned loudly before sucking your clit back into his mouth and flicking his tongue rapidly back and forth over it.

You cried out and threw your head back as you came for the second time in Tony’s mouth.  He groaned as he lapped it up and you climbed off him, leaning down and kissing him, sucking yourself from his lips as you continued to stroke his cock.

He started to twist like he was trying to escape the orgasm.  Yet at the same time, he held onto Bruce’s wrists.  You watched them both intently as they both began to lose control.  Bruce’s fucked into him faster but slightly erratically.  The tendon’s in his neck were pulling taught and the veins were glowing an iridescent green.  Tony arched up violently cursing as he released, his cock pulsing and ribbons of come spilled over his stomach and your hand.

His orgasm was like a trigger to Bruce.  He rutted into Tony a few more times before jerking forward and groaning as he came.  Tony flopped his hand against your side as Bruce slipped from within him.  “I’m dead.  You both killed me.”  Bruce panted.

You smirked at him as Bruce curled into his side.  “Well you wanted a lesson in biology and Bruce is the expert.  You should know that by now.”

9, 10, and 12 for Olivia asks, please?

thank you for asking! hope this doesn’t disappoint!

***long post ahead, still no computer :((

9. What was her relationship with Jacob?

Well, I like to see my Jacob as not having had any romantic feelings for either Duncan or Olivia. He liked to call them his platonic soulmates. The three of them were truly best friends and they all made a good team. They were a well oiled trio and each of them cared for each other.

Really, to put it simply, they were best friends. The boys always went to her when they needed advice and Jacob was very fond of her. He saw her as a bit of a sisterly figure for him and actually reminded him a lot of his own. They’re also housemates, so they would always lounge together in the common room when they had down time and Duncan happened to be busy. They didn’t really bother anyone seeing as Jacob was well-liked among his peers during his school years and Olivia was a very polite person. But they were known to goof off and mess around every so often. The professors hated having both of them in the same class, let alone the ones they shared with Duncan. It was practically impossible getting them to focus some days. They were the jokesters of their little group and were very comfortable with one another. They’re the type of friends who people would probably think are dating... and then get disgusted when they realize they give people that impression. Jacob is rather tall, especially compared to her, and always liked to tease her by hanging off of her or draping his long limbs across her lap or shoulders. They love to get lost in their own world together, as Duncan really isn’t one to indulge in his imagination and could spend hours having existential thoughts and bouncing what if questions off each other. But they’re also quick to console and reassure one another when one of them is down and very protective of each other. Very caring and loyal friends, but first years might not always get that impression as half the time they’re just teasing each other and trying to have the last word.

However, this Olivia was absolutely the type to tell it like it is. She’s not one for sugar-coating things and she values honesty in others so she likes to give it in return. She definitely got onto him when he started behaving erratically and didn’t give him any excuses. Honestly, I really don’t think I can stress enough just how close they were and how much they meant to one another. He would do just about anything for her and she’d gladly do the same.

10. What was her relationship with Duncan?

So, I decided to take the teeniest, tiniest page out of JK’s book— I know, I know, but hear me out —and considered adding a bit of a romance into this trio. And while Jacob Roberts would make a good match with both Duncan and Olivia, I didn’t really want him to have feelings for either of them. Now, I’m personally not a Romione fan, but I do rather like the trope. I am weak for f2l, so...

I can see them starting out as friends at first. Where Olivia and Jacob almost never shut up when they’re together, Duncan and Olivia are either perfectly content just sitting in silence and enjoying each other’s company or bickering like an old married couple and will not stop until one has gotten through to the other. But they never push or disrespect each other’s boundaries and make sure not to say anything that might offend the other. And if they do think they’ve crossed a line, they’re quick to apologize and make it up to them. But they like debating with each other as they typically have different opinions on most things. They learn and challenge each other while also being able to remain who they are. Olivia is able to help him step out of his comfort zone without pushing him past his limits and is respectful of his boundaries. Duncan is good at listening when she has things she wants to say and ideas she wants to share, even if he doesn’t quite understand, and can also bring her back to reality if she starts to wander too far. Things start out really casual and it’s comfortable for them.

Though, after spending all that time together, Olivia comes to admire his ambition and dedication, and surprising loyalty to her and Jacob. She begins to appreciate the little moments when he can relax and forget about the vaults and when he feels comfortable enough to crack jokes. She also loves to shamelessly flirt with him, just to see him stutter, all blushy and cute. And she absolutely loves when she catches him humming as he studies or when he’s making a potion or doing research. Her favorite moments to admire him are when he’s completely unaware and just content to be himself. He’s rather grumpy and introverted normally so she loves it when he doesn’t feel the need to keep himself guarded. He’s interesting and I think that’s what drew her attention initially. And while those feelings were repicrocated, they spent so many years too afraid to admit it and just continued to dance around each other, avoiding possible rejection. In the end, they didn’t get anything more than one kiss before he died and she went missing. It was one of their biggest regrets and they can both attest to that.

12. What was her role in the trio?

Personally: Olivia is a very good mediator. Her personality is a good middle ground between the boys. Jacob Roberts is a very independent, head-in-the-clouds kinda guy. He knows when to stop and think things through, but he can get pretty distracted and side tracked sometimes. While that normally isn’t a problem with the vaults, because he’s so committed to this search, often times the opposite becomes true. He’s been known to get tunnel vision and overwork himself and his friends if left alone long enough, especially when they’ve hit a snag. Duncan, on the other hand, is normally very single-minded and logical and for a wizard he’s very much in the mindset of “seeing is believing”. He sticks mostly to facts and what he knows to be true. But he can, every now and again, get frustrated if it takes him a while to make progress in their search. And, really, this usually isn’t much of a problem between them, as their strengths and weaknesses balance each other out without clashing. However, there are a select few times where they catch each other at the wrong moment— while Duncan is frustrated and in need of a break and Jacob is persistent and tries to push him a little harder than what’s probably necessary —and Olivia is needed to calm them down. She’s whimsical, free spirited, and ambitious enough to understand where Jacob is coming from in these situations, but also responsible, open-minded, and generally practical in her thinking to be able to consider Duncan’s view and his feelings on the matter. But when she gets into an argument with one of them, she usually just adheres to the “if you don’t have anything nice to say” policy and takes time for herself to calm down. It typically doesn’t take long for Jacob or Duncan to come to their senses and reach out to her first and when that happens she is quick to follow with her own apology. Even so, while Jacob is the mood maker of their trio, Olivia is good at indulging him and his ideas and thus breaking Duncan a bit out of his shell, while also not pushing him past his limit and taking time to do things that the other boy enjoys as well and grounding Jacob when the need arises.

Business: When it comes to their search for the vaults, everyone has their own jobs, but sometimes they can overlap. Duncan, for example, does most of the “super secret work”. If they need something to get in the vault, to use against whatever is inside it, or getting out, he’s your guy. He is adept at potions and fairly competent in other areas such as Charms, and Tranfiguration. However, while he scores very well in the class, he lacks a bit of field experience when it comes to DADA. But he is eager to get better and he tries his best to be a Jack of all Trades and serves them well as their strategist. Jacob, does a lot of the research. If there’s a clue to be deciphered, something missing in their puzzle, information that needs to be discovered, he is all over it. His ability to consider every possible scenario, even the unlikely ones while still having the common sense to know when he’s heading down a dead end makes him very efficient. Him and Olivia also will team up from time to time to do reconnaissance or to talk outsiders or people who are getting too close to their secret activites down and dissuading a potential liability. Despite his generally whimsical personality, he’s extremely good at reading people and controlling a situation when it gets out of hand; doesn’t buckle under pressure and he’s a good duelist. Olivia, also happens to be very skilled in martial magic, but she tends to do better when dealing with multiple people while Jacob is more efficient in one on one combat. Olivia works as the trio’s collector. If Duncan needs a material he doesn’t have on hand? Olivia can steal it from Snape and face the possible consequences. If that’s for whatever reason not an option, she’s the one making the trip to Knockturn Alley to apprehend it. Someone stole something or happened across one of their clues? She’s on it and it’ll be on your desk within the hour. She’s a fairly pleasant person and while Jacob is naturally friendly and charming, he can be a bit loud sometimes so they send in Olivia instead, just in case.

^Of course this all changes when R gets involved. Suddenly everyone is more on edge and prone to start fights and much quicker to snap or accuse. Normally they are able to recognize their mistakes and rectify the situation, but sometimes it takes Jacob longer now that his sister’s life is on the line. And without his friend, Duncan gets moodier and more stubborn when giving out his apologies. Olivia also gets frustrated with them faster and will sometimes refuse to help them compromise if it takes too long. She’ll leave them to their own devices and be done with it, wait for them to own up themselves. And Jacob, for his part, slowly begins to act irrationally, even for him, the longer R is around and the more involved they become. He’ll hide his research from them, over analyze Duncan’s work and sometimes redo it (even if it ends up worse), and do recon without Olivia. He eventually even ends up doing her job himself altogether. He becomes more mistrustful and paranoid of betrayal and of their work being revealed. He suddenly becomes insanely and scarily perceptive. He studies them and their tells, their habits and what makes them tick– what makes everyone tick for that matter. He loses his trust in his professors, his peers, and eventually them as well. It takes both of them a while to admit it to themselves, but one day they wake up and realize that they don’t recognize who he is anymore and they’re not sure he even knows who he’s become and that just breaks her heart. He was her best friend.

And that was her last thought of him before she disappeared.

Ex Boyfriend Is Back

I, for one, never learned how to sext safely as part of my high school curriculum. (I mean, I barely learned how contraceptives work, but that’s an upsetting tale for another time.) Chances are you also haven’t been privy to a formal education in the art of practicing safe sext. The information is always important, but now it’s more pressing than ever, given that social distancing guidelines have limited the mediums of communication available for single people who want to date and also those in committed relationships that suddenly feel long-distance. So since many are now relying on the power of written communication to flirt (and share decidedly dirtier thoughts), a sex educator is here to make sure we all know how to sext safely.

“Sexting is an amazing way to connect with someone if you’re not able to see them often, which is more relevant right now than ever before,” says Sadie Allison, PhD, sexologist, and co-founder of GoLove CBD lubricant. “Whether you’re in a casual or committed relationship, there are helpful guidelines for staying safe—both physically and mentally.”

“Whether you’re in a casual or committed relationship, there are helpful sexting guidelines for staying safe—both physically and mentally.” —Sadie Allison, PhD, sexologist

Personal sexting style will vary by the person, but the following seven guidelines for safe sexting are great broad rules to adhere to. Brush up on them before you hit “send” next.

A sexologist’s 7 golden rules for how to sext safely.

1. Consent is still king

If you’ve ever received an unsolicited picture of someone’s genitals, you already know this.

“[Sexting] can make us feel unsafe, violated, and even threatened,” says Dr. Allison. “That’s why getting not only your partner’s permission, but their enthusiastic permission is an important part of sexting—even if you’ve already had [physical] sex before.”

2. Check in regularly using simple phrases

Consent is a practice that you continue throughout the sexting experience—it’s not one and done. That means you want to drop in with your sext companion as the conversation unfolds.

“When you’re just starting off with sexting, it’s best to be as respectful as possible and simply ask permission with phrases like, ‘Can I send you a sexy picture?’ or ‘Would it be okay to text you one of my fantasies” to ensure the other person is on board to take things to the next level,” says Dr. Allison. “Continue to check in with simple lines like ‘Do you want more?’ or ‘Are you into this?’ to keep both of you on the same page.”

3. Ease in slowly

Even if you’ve already established some healthy sexting ground rules and are feeling particularly saucy, Dr. Allison still recommends starting off slowly, perhaps with an easy compliment. “Let them know what it is you really like about them physically that turns you on, and then elaborate,” she says.

If you’re struggling, you can always rely on the tried-and-true fill in the blanks system: “I love it when you ____ my ____. ” or “I’m going to ____ your ____ when you get home.” Furthermore, don’t underestimate the power of reminiscing on memories, especially if you used to touch each physically, back when touching was a thing.

4. Don’t drink (excessively) and text

“As with most decisions, you’re less likely to make the best ones when you’re not sober,” says Dr. Allison. “We often regret the decisions we make when we’re inebriated—especially those that cross boundaries. Put your phone away, or temporarily block a number if you feel you’re in a precarious situation.” So, yeah, definitely don’t drink and text let alone sext your ex.

5. Be mindful of when you’re sexting

It’s obviously bad form to text someone in the wee small hours of the morning with a “u up?” message. Let’s all agree to act like the adults we’re meant to be and agree to never do that. But you also would be wise to avoid sexting someone midday, especially if that person is currently living with their parents and takes her phone to many wholesome family lunches. (Ahem, that’s me.) “Unless you’ve established otherwise with your partner, aim for sending texts at later hours, when the recipient is more likely to have some privacy,” says Dr. Allison.

6. Be mindful about the photos you sext

Ultimately, it’s your choice to send whatever photos of yourself you’d like, but Dr. Allison recommends that in cases of new relationships or where you don’t know your sexting partner so well, you might want to consider framing your photos so that identifiable features (like you, know, your face) are out of the shot.

“You may also want to un-sync your phone from iPhoto and iCloud so that you don’t end up opening your laptop to some super sexy pics at….well, a super-wrong time, says Dr. Allison. “Consider erasing or safely storing your photos after they’re sent—you don’t want them to end up in the wrong hands.”

7. Adjust your text-message settings accordingly

“There’s also an option on most phones that allows you to turn off ‘preview messages,’ meaning that when a text pops up, it will display the sender’s name and not the text or imagery,” says Dr. Allison. “This is great if you’re often around others and want to play it safe.”

Now that you know how to sext safely, get ready to learn the many reasons people initiate sexting that don’t have to do with sex. And touch might be off the table, but you can still express all the love languages during social distancing.

Dragon Age: Inquisitor + Romanced Companions Asks

Dragon Age: Inquisitor + Romanced Companions Asks    (if you want to do your own, click the link)

General Questions

1. What was your Inquisitor’s first impression of their partner? What was their partner’s first impression of them?

Teiran judged Solas to be meek, submissive and too dreamy/spaced out.  Solas’ first impression of Teiran was that she was (is?) a problem, naive, ignorant Dalish.

2. How did the Inquisitor’s title as “Herald of Andraste” affect their relationship with their partner? Was there any conflict between them due to it?

They actually bonded over it.  It was Teiran’s first major decision, before that point she had been essentially following behind Cassandra and Solas up the mountain.  And after she makes the decision to denounce the title as much as Leliana and Josephine will allow, Solas begins to realize that he might have hit the jackpot: sure, someone else has the anchor, but they might actually be someone he could approve of rather than another self-proclaimed god.

3. When did your Inquisitor develop feelings for their partner? When did they realize they had feelings for them?

Teiran began developing feelings as soon as he started sharing stories about history and they start going on Fade trips together.  She realized her feelings for him after traveling through time (seeing him poisoned by red lyrium and die).

4. How did your Inquisitor’s relationship begin with their partner? A casual fling? Tentative commitment?

They became really close friends.  Then, Solas with his typical smooth flirting and Teiran falling hard.  Teiran feels they have a solid commitment.  Solas swings between either about to break the whole thing off or being committed and just waiting to tell her everything when the time was right.

5. How would your Inquisitor and their partner be described? Polar opposites or very similar?

Very similar, they agree on almost everything and both love traveling in the Fade (for different reasons of course).  How the Inner Circle describes them:  reserved/private/professional most of the time with their tender/sweet moments.

6. Has your Inquisitor had any previous relationships? If they did, did any of their previous relationships have a lasting impact on them?

Although she hates to admit it, Teiran hasn’t had any previous relationships that progressed past flirty crushes.  This works in Solas’ favor because she is more likely to miss some warning signals that an experienced Lavellan would have picked up on.  Her naivety in the romance area also makes her less willing to let go of him and move on, which works in his favor depending on your point of view.

7. What is your Inquisitor’s favorite quality about their partner? Why?

Teiran loves Solas’ staunch beliefs in individual freedom, his willingness to share his knowledge with her and frankly, how much she affects him.  (I mean, he had given up on everything about the world as a product of his mistake and she shows him the value in it)

8. What is your Inquisitor and their partner’s favorite way to spend time together?

Traveling the Fade and Thedas discovering new things.  Solas loves the way Teiran lights up with new information and never tires of her endless, Why’s? and What ifs?  Particularly since Solas rarely does not have information or opinions to answer those questions.

9. How did your Inquisitor react to the gossip about their relationship, if there was any?

Teiran did not react well, whether it was disapproving or not.  Teiran doesn’t want her relationship reduced to a side-note in her Inquisitor legacy and she doesn’t want it to become common knowledge for fear that people might accuse her judgements/decisions to be biased.  She also knows her Dalish family would likely not approve of Solas in general as he does not approve of them.  However, it is hard to deny that the two are happy and the subject usually remains within the inner circle with that as the narrative amongst those who are closer to Teiran.

10. What struggles did your Inquisitor and their partner overcome? How do they resolve their arguments?

Although naive, there are occasions when Teiran intuitively picks up on Solas’ secrets (everyone would see these occasions as blindly obvious like the Well of Sorrows conversations).  They argue because she can’t understand why he would keep something from her and he is afraid of his secret getting out before he is ready to tell her.  It is unresolved until post-game, Solas usually distracts Teiran long enough for him to tell her something else or some dramatic life thing consumes her attention and it falls by the wayside.

11. Would your Inquisitor and their partner ever consider having children? Why or why not?

A couple years after the world has settled, the two would retreat into retirement and have a child.  This would be a big step for them because it would mean their mindset would be content with the world enough to retire.

Solas 1. How did your Inquisitor respond to Solas’ true identity? Did their feelings change at all?

When Teiran discovered that he was Fen’Harel, she was more attracted to him.  Rebellious elvhen god?  Yep, sounds good.  Teiran also thinks this puts them on more equal footing, rather than just her with the Inquisitor title.

2. Does your Inquisitor regret anything about their relationship with Solas? What do they wish they could tell him?

Regrets? Not really, although of course she wishes he would let them figure it out together.  Teiran understands that this is a growing pain for him and is attempting to be patient while hunting him down to knock some sense into that hard head of his. . . .
